Improvement of energy and conversion efficiencies of electrochemical and plasma reactors by miniaturization. University of Antwerp
Analysis of Laminar Flow Electrochemical reactors: Self-supported Synthesis and the Effects of Ultrasound KU Leuven
The electrochemical synthesis of organic molecules provides a unique control over the reaction conditions: The electrical current flowing through the electrodes determines the conversion and the applied potential difference between the electrodes determines the selectivity. Electrolysis is therefore reported as an attractive method for the synthesis of organic molecules that have applications in the fine chemical, specialty chemical, and ...

Sulfate radical-based electrochemical advanced oxidation processes for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in wastewater KU Leuven
Motivated by the myriad of diseases faced in the world today, our elevated consumption of pharmaceuticals has brought into play the side effects of their uncontrolled release into the environment, such as the associated potential for uptake and bioaccumulation in living organisms. Traces of pharmaceuticals, along with other contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), have been found in diverse natural water bodies originating from sewage ...
Modeling and optimization of electrochemical hydrogen compression and separation KU Leuven
One of the main challenges of the hydrogen economy is the low volumetric energy density of hydrogen. Hydrogen compression is necessary due to the need for efficient hydrogen storage and transportation and the requirement of high-pressure levels in various chemical processes. Electrochemical compression is a promising alternative to traditional mechanical compressors. Therefore this doctoral project aims at analyzing and optimizing the ...
Training of a new generation of researchers in Innovative Electrochemical OXidation processes for the removal and analysis of micro-pollutants in water streams (INNOVEOX). KU Leuven
Although the European freshwater system is monitored closely by different European frameworks, it has been demonstrated that organic chemical pollutants are still putting half of it at risk. The InnovEOX R&D training network was built to address and provide a solution for this considerable challenge: to boost innovative electrochemical wastewater treatment techniques to effectively degrade highly hazardous organic micro-pollutants, ...
